== My article was removed for copyright ==

I tried to post information from my website on "Kukla, Fran and Ollie," but it was removed due to fear of copyright violations.

None of the material on my website is copyrighted - I wrote it myself.  How do I post it on Wikipedia without having it removed?  Did anyone save what I posted earlier?

:First -- [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|create an account]], it's quick and easy. The article, [[Kukla, Fran and Ollie]], is now listed at [[Wikipedia:Copyright problems]]. Go there and explain that you are the author of the website and the copyright holder of the text. All of the page history is saved, so it is easy to restore the article. For future reference, it is good to [[Wikipedia:cite your sources|cite your sources]] and using the [[Wikipedia:edit summary|edit summary]] to explain where the info in each edit comes from.

::The listing is at [[Wikipedia:Copyright_problems#August_13|August 13th]]. You have the capacity to roll the article back yourself - go to the article, hit the history tag, find the version you want and then edit it. But as Sverdrup notes, you'd do well to state on the article's talk page that you run the website, otherwise someone else'll rediscover the alleged copyright violation & blank the page again. Welcome, and thatnks for the contribution. (goes off to find out who or what "Kukla, Fran and Ollie" are..) --[[User:Tagishsimon|Tagishsimon]]
